The Greek alphabet does have upper and lower case variants. However,
in the case of typing 'qwerty' and 'QWERTY' using a Greek keyboard
layout then you get the strings:
qwerty = ;ςερτυ
and
QWERTY = :΅ΕΡΤΥ
Which (by virtue of the punctuation and the terminal sigma on q and w)
are definitely not the same when compared caselessly ;)

i.e. Don't assume that shift-<letter> gives you an uppercase version
of <letter> in any keyboard layout.
I'm a slob, a lazy slob, a very lazy slob, so I tend, like water, to
take the lowest and the easiest route.
So my first port of call re Greek script would naturally be here:
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0370.pdf
Then I would set up a false on-screen keyboard ( and/or just remap keys
via "on keyUp") so that the Greek
Unicode chars lined up with the keys on my keyboard.
I have repeated this "trick" very successfully with Devanagari-Sanskrit,
Old Church Slavonic and Anglo-Saxon.
I am also very keen on little for . . . next loops involving phrases
such as "if shiftKey() is down" . . .
Oh, and to any Greek types who may be lurking around, I should like to
wish them a Happy St,. George's day.
I will be out for the rest of the day as a cousin of my wife is called
Gergana, so we are having a picnic sous les arbres.
Richmond.
